Every doctor I went to told me my hemoglobin was good but I finally found one to listen. She sent me to a hematologist and my ferritin level was 6. Thank God my doctor listened. I’ve had 5 strokes and a heart aneurism. I have to get iron infusion every six months. I’m always tired. My Menstrual cycle last 5 days and are very heavy. I finally had a d&c and a iud. I have to go back next month to see if this is working.
@@naNO818ETF7 ur blood has more parts than they test for. If ur levels are consistently low You should ask ur primary care to refer u to a hematologist.
I probably had an iron deficiency for at least the last 10 years. I'm supplementing since a few weeks and it blows my mind how much energy I have now. Usually my day was more or less over when I came back from the gym. Now I actually have energy left to continue my day.
Add very strong B6 vitamin (required in red blood cell production) and other B vitamin supplements to your daily routine. Best would be one strong supplement with high dosage of all of them. B vitamin is water soluable (like vitamin C) thus no risk of overdose, as the excess flushes off in urea.
I have chronic anemia ( being treated ongoing) and no Dr. told me about mouth ulcers. I have a mouth ulcer on the inside of my mouth encroaching on my lip. It started out very small, but over 2 years it has grown significantly. I am now referred to a plastic surgeon for consultation. My family Dr. has not made the connection between my anemia and mouth ulcer. Thank you for the comprehensive analysis of low iron.
This is very informative, my goodness: I have these symptoms out of breath at times, always tired, new habit of chewing plastic, RLS, dizzy, lightheaded , brain fog.. my period is the worst: heavy bleeding, clotting, cold.. a mess.. my red blood cells count is constantly low, 7.5.. my doctor has recommended getting on the pill hopefully my numbers will climb back up.. Good luck to all sufferers..
I had been anemic for about 6 years or so when I finally figured it out in my mid twenties. I'd had several blood tests done where the low Hb showed up but for some reason none of the doctors made it their concern. 🤷🏻♀️
Amazing explanation. Maybe you should reach out to doctors’ offices and ask them to have patients watch your video at their offices or have it play continuously in the TVs at the offices. Thanks again!
Many people suffer symptoms of low iron and ferrit is the lab figure showing the real iron level in body, not hemoglobin. Many women, even young, suffer low ferrit without knowing it, mostly due to long (5-8d) and/or heavy menstrual bleeding and/or short period cycle. Some may also(/instead) have unhealthy "leaky gut" due to some illness or just wrong kind of diet. Another commentor shared her story of low iron caused by Hpylori bact. That was new info for me and when I checked if there are any dietary treatments for it, I found stylecraze pages with a new article of 11 Home remedies for treating HelicobactPylori. Seemed healthy delicious foods & ingredients. Maybe worth a visit, as even I found it useful, even though I don't have low iron anymore myself. Praying for better health for you🙏♥️
Canker sores are also showing defeciency of B vitamins. And B vitamins are needed in red blood cell creation too. They are water soluable vitamins (just like vit C) and can be taken as much/often you like/need, as the extra flushes off in urea. All vitamins are daily essentials for our health and our levels are too low due to the poor soil causing poor levels of vitamins&minerals also in our food.
Hpylori also causes anemia, I almost had to get a blood transfusion twice after they tried to find out why I was anemic, it wasn't until I had endoscopy the found the bacteria that was causing malabsorption in my gut. Had to get a strong antibiotics to kill the bad bacteria. Took 4 years for them to figure it out.
I was just diagnosed as anemic. My Dr did not explain much, but ordered more tests. In watching this video I realized I have restless leg syndrome (drives my wife crazy but I figured I was burning excess calories off!), vertical lines on my nails, and loss of appetite. It all makes sense now. Great video. I hope you become a practicing physician you go in depth the way you did with these videos with your patients. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I found this very helpful!
Thanks to this video, I went to the clinic and had lab drawn. Feeling... extremely exhausted...a feeling I usually get around the time of my menses...of late, my feeling of exhaustion hasn't disappaited when my period is over, but has lingered on endlessly. My lab showed low iron. After getting ferrous sulfate from the pharmacy, I came home and took my loading dose. Since taking it, I haven't craved either peanuts or dark chocolate, cravings I've had in overdrive of late. These cravings have broken my face out. Glad to be on the mend. Never a milk drinker has always contributed to anemia. Add dislike to red meats and I have found anemia a constant since puberty. Dark chocolate cravings and peanuts have had me gaining weight, add fatigue and my weight gain accelerates. Today, happy to feel better and have more energy. A woman who internalizes stress, stomach ulcers often occur for this girl. I am a sum of poor diet, poor rest of late, emotional stress, and a heavy bleeder during menstruation. I should have known without being reminded by this video, being a nurse. I always focus on my team and taking care of them and not myself. My body has been trying to tell me by increased bruising and poor healing when I receive a cut or scratch. Add the sxs of irritability and Fatigue and food cravings...yeah, I should pay closer attention... Thanks for your video,it was a red flag that said, "pay attention", God's messengers, my angels have been talking...through healers and information like this.
Wow this is so me. I almost passed out in the gym this morning. And I am trying to find a good family doctor right now to help me check my iron level but those the one I would like to schedule is unfortunately not accepting new patients. 😭
Soneone told in comments the low level of iron in his)her blood was caused by Helicobacteria Pylori in guts. There seems to be also many natural remedies/dietary treatments to get rid of it. Stylecraze webpage has just new article about them. May be you and others could find their info helpful. May God help your healing🙏🕊️
It seems to me that you're so nutrient deficient. Maybe you need to start changing your diet to a balanced one. You need protein from meat, organic is best, for sure. It will give you the B vitamins you need for your mood swings, protein and fats you need for your neurottansmitter and hormone production, iron and other minerals. If you menstruate heavily, then probably you have high estrogen due to high exposure on estrogen mimickers or endocrine disruptors like BPAs (plasticizers) through air, or food, these are difficult to eliminate so you need to eat your cruciferous veggies or you take DIM (preferrably with Calcium D-glucarate) to bind it and poop it out. Then, if you don't poop everyday, same thing happens. Those I mentioned can also help you bind the mycotoxins that molds produce, and mold infections are normally the culprit behind issues in the reproductive system which starts out as insulin resistance. Once you get mold infections you start having a lot of issues as it switches off your immune system. You can also do sauna bath, or exercise to sweat the mycotoxins out. God wants you to pay attention to what you eat because unknowingly, your diet destroys His temple in you.😊
True True and True. I had to have an iron transfusion. Twice. Don’t forget the sensitivity to spicy food. Ketchup and mustard would burn. Pickles would burn. And the crushed ice. It was like crack. I couldn’t get enough. I’m better now.
I’ve had the restless legs and cracks in my corners of my mouth that just won’t heal and I was tired and short of breath. I now take iron and eat Raisin Bran. Cereal and eat raisin toast all the time. We don’t eat beef as much as we used to because.
Restless leg syndrome at night is so annoying, injections work but so does ferrous fumarate (pills) Ppl shld keep them far away from kids though bc they are deadly; there was even chocolate flavour iron pills made in France, which is insane :(
I was in Italy Oct 2019 and could not enjoy the wine as my tongue was burning. Felt like thrush but no coating. I walked over 5 miles/day. Felt good otherwise. Within 2 weeks home so fatigued and thought I was being lazy! Went to donate blood.& was denied as my Hgb. Was 9 Gms. Low Feritin Lab work identified IDA. Biopsy on small bowl = Celiac Disease. Getting iron infusions. Thanks for an awesome well presented presentation. New subscriber here! 👏👏👏
This happened to me earlier this year, I had no idea I had iron deficiency, I had muscles pulsating in my legs, tingling all over my body, my finger tips became bumping and itchy, I was so tired I couldn't get up, and I almost passed driving, and that bump appeared inside of my bottom lip as well. I had to be rushed to the ER and they couldn't figure out was wrong with me and almost made it seemed as if I was faking. My parents had to keep me at their home for almost a week until I was able to go to my doctor, this was when covid had everything shut down. I was too tired to get up and do anything I thought it was the end for me, I have to take iron supplements along with eating foods rich in iron every other day or I start to become dizzy, my mom found out she has anemia, and so does my daughter.
Same here! I went to the ER twice and all these doctors couldn't figure it out! I got a regular blood test, my doc was on vacation and I saw my Iron had plummetted. After a few weeks of Organ meats aI started to feel normal a bit again. Still recovering but feeling myself again. You gotta take care of yourself, most doctors always miss the details in the big picture...
Start eating food with B vitamins and take everyday B vitamin product with high dosage of ALL B vitamins. They are water soluable vitamins (like vitamin C) with no risk of overdose, as the excess flushes away in urea. EspeciallyB6 is required in red blood cell production. B12required/essential daily in high doses for brains, memory & neurological functions, especially schoolchildren, students, "brainworkers" and elderly benefit greatly from it. Btw, Pure fish liver oil e.g. omega3 in it, is also excellent for brains, memory & concentration and can be ingested either as oil (even with lemon taste) or capsules.
Loved this video informative, straight to the point no rambling or repetitive dialogue 👏👏. Can you please do another video on other blood related diseases like Von Wilderband's, or diseases where factor F is deficient Thank you
I have iron deficiency from heavy menstruation and experiencing major hair loss, I had a scalp biopsy and was told I have alopecia, just wondering if that diagnosis could be from low iron?(ferritin is 30)
@Angie Randazzo In 2018, I had heavy bleeding too for 2 months that’s why I need to undergo blood transfusion. After that, I started to have bald spots and in a span of 3 months after having those spots, I totally lose all my hair. From head, eyebrows and all over my body. I went to a dermatologist but the steroids that they gave me didn’t help. I wore my wig for almost a year. Thank God, my hair grew back without taking any medications or going back to the doctor.
What were you symptoms when u were at Ur worst , for past 3-4 days I've be extremely light-headed, eyes go black and can't see then goes away again. Been getting chest pain that comes and goes ,
Doctors say I have iron deficiency if it’s left untreated I might have health problems luckily I’m taking iron supplements medicine and shots I hope I survive:)
I am anemic and my son has g6pd enzyme deficiency which I found out I am a female heterozygote carrier and it skips generations and usually lands on first born son. It causes hemolysis if you have any trigger foods or substances like sulfa drugs or fava beans. We are Persian and eat fava beans seasonally. I didn’t know he had this enzyme deficiency which effects the red blood cells and when he had fava beans he almost died and needed 6 bags of blood and hemoglobin went extremely low and his lips turned blue and he was peeing the color of blood or “coca cola” because the bilirubin was also going crazy. It was a very scary event that led us to the hospital with him jaundiced and high fever and I knew something was very wrong and I was screaming bringing him to the ER saying that my child was dying so someone quickly could give him attention. The hematologist there instantly knew this was from fava beans and we just never would have known but fava beans really are deadly and hard to digest for even people without g6pd but others bodies and blood can recover the losses better so they don’t have reactions, but you can tell from your pee being darker sometimes. I personally won’t eat fava beans again after what they did to my son. We are anemic and we take iron supplements and try to eat more: dark turkey, apricots, dark chocolate, mushrooms, spinach, iron fortified cereals, red meat, liver, tuna, etc. I would not recommend fava bean consumption to anyone with iron deficiency or anemia in general unless you want to exacerbate the problem. There is a name for it and it’s called “Favism.” It is possible g6pd is in your genetics if you are showing up anemic and iron deficient. It’s something to look into if Mediterranean or Asian descent or African American.
One can also have a low hemogloben level because they have thalassemia trait which is very common in the Mediterranean.. My hemogloben is always very low because of thalassemia trait.
I am anemic and have episodes of mouth sore especially during my period. I have been taking iron pills but have to discontinue due to severe gastrointestinal irritation.
Try the brand Feo-sol bifera iron tablets it is easy on your stomach. I get it at Walmart online and I order a few bottles at a time. I also eat Raisin Bran and raisin bread toast. And pumpkin seeds are good. I also use B-12vitamins that dissolve under the tongue and I take vitaminC because it helps with absorption.
Mega Food Blood Builder on Amazon is the BEST! I had problems for years with taking iron and anemia. Try this one, i tell everyone because it is so gentle and does not make me nauseous like other iron. It's wonderful. They also have minis which are i love and have helped me so much. Also you can eat cereals like Life, Raisin Bran and shredded wheat, etc, alot of them have good iron, but eat it as a snack and less with milk since calcium blocks iron right after you eat it.
I’ve always been like 90% sure that I’m anemic and this just proves that I literally have like almost all of those symptoms especially canker sores and pica. I always chew rubber and plastic also I had terrible attention span I take medicine for that. I’m always tired. I’m very weak and scrony. And I’m always constipated
@@nanetnanet9640 Might be your iron absorption. My Oncologist has me taking sublingual vitamin B-12 and chewable vitamin C daily. She said taking these vitamins specifically this way helps with iron absorption.
I feel like stopping working night shifts as I can’t get to eat enough food day time and even in the night so I get tired all the time and my iron level is always low .
Did your doctor prescribe iron supplements? I take 325 mg twice a day with vitamin C so it’ll absorb. Sometimes I do weekly B12 shots for 8 weeks. Those help my energy immensely. Also a D3 once a week prescription will
Northern Europeans can have chronic iron deficiency in the family so it can be assumed if ur tired ur deficient, esp during pregnancy it's very common.
I went through heavy menstrual periods I was late getting it I was 15 I started heavy I skipped the rest of my years,when I was 32 is started into my 32s & until I was 53 I was put on birth control to regulate it I made blood clots smaller,my mom told me when I started I’ll flow heavy like she did,moms grandma died when she was 55 she had 15 kids,I never married or had children,my Dr told me I could have had a lot of anemia,I was weak tired ,lack of appetite,bled from my rectum, i didn’t have black stools my heboglobin was 3.9% .I had to have 8 transfusions.
I had a myocardial infarction due to a low hemoglobin. I was only 50 years old. Had an angiogram that showed no blockage. Had a colonoscopy to look for bleeding, that wasn’t an issue. In the end my infarction was said to be due to low iron. It was 7.3, not to scary low, but my issue is my ferritin level is extremely low. I don’t understand why it is so low. Dr. Tested for the cause and said there wasn’t anything identifiable. Long story short I now have regular iron infusions. At least I know why I’m always exhausted and out of breath. Sometimes just talking makes me sound like I ran a marathon.
HOPE SOMEONE SEES THIS AND HELPS ME, I have iron deficiency (self diagnosed from the symptoms and I have been a heavy flow since I started my period so I know that's the cause). This year I finally decided to get on some OTC iron supplements and my period not only got EXTREMELY HEAVIER! IT ALSO LASTED 14 DAYS! I thought these were just the first month side effects and continued and it just continued that way, when I stop them, my period goes back to normal but when I start taking them again, the problem persists. I have also tried Multi vitamins that have iron in them ( different brand too) but got the same results, It is so frustrating as I am trying to get better but it seems they make me worse. Right now I cannot afford to get blood tests as it is expensive and I am unemployed. What do I do ? Please advise.🙏
I know how you feel cuz I too have extreme symptoms and we have much in common I too found it by my self ,and I know how frustrating it is when you can't go for a blood test as it is costly. I had tried many medications too .the best one I had used is "Maharshi ayurveda,raktda" yes it is an Indian product it was really effective and the other thing I suggest is as much as possible go for healthy intake like Panakam( jaggery water ), 2 dates per day, green leafy vegies and egg ,meat etc....
Maybe go off the iron pills one week before your period and see if that changes anything? From a scientific standpoint it is unlikely that the heavy bleeding is caused directly by higher iron. However iron does influence hormone production, they in turn influence the makeup of the uterus lining. It could also be that taking the iron makes you deficient in a different factor necessary for blood coagulation, though i don't know what that factor might be.
Hello how long will it take until the symptoms go away? I have an irondeficiency anemia, my ferritin is at 9 and my hemoglobin is 11.8 ng/ml I take 100mg iron now, how long will it take until i feel normal again? Because it came out that my ferritin was under 20 since 2019 I can barely walk and feel like my lungs get no air as soon as I walk a few steps, also i feel dizzy and unconcentrated I always thought it was normal for me being that pale and having cold hands and feet all the time :(

I recently spotted a small circle on the top part of my gums and instantly diagnosed myself with Aids or Herpes. Didn't know what a canker sore was before setting a doctors appt. Of course its gone and my doctors appt is coming up. I'll be curious to see what the Doctor says.
@@cherylehrhart1030 My mom told me to gargle with warm salt water and it worked. It worked so great, the sore was gone by time my doctors appt rolled around. Based off the symptoms I described to the doctor, he agreed to was most likely a canker sore; noting that stress could have been the cause. Hope that info helps but ultimately, its nothing to panic about.
Insert Name Here you do NOT have Aids or Herpes you are iron deficient!!!!!! U need iron infusions to cure the problem. I get my iron infusions weekly and all my problems well symptoms went away. Change your diet and eat beets and celery.
I have pituitary gland problem so unfortunately my iron deficiency anemia can’t be helped, I have 111 g/l of blood. How effective is the COVID vaccine with this condition?
Does anyone experience loss if appetite due to iron deficient anaemia. I am taking supplements but no appetite , gas , boating all the time. I feel terrible and helpless. Losing weight also. So scared .
If the bloating is in the upper part of the abdomen with pressure building up rather than just a lot of farts coming out, it is likely due to SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth). This can both cause iron deficiency or be caused by it. It can be checked by a gastroenterologist via a simple breath test, however treatment is difficult because it just won't work if it is not approached holistically.
The only thing that helps my anemia is Garden of Life- Vitamin Code healthy blood. My body easily absorbes this supplement, sadly the anemia comes back after a 5-6 months. 🤷🏻♀️ I think I might be intolerant to gluten.
@@krenee2266 me too. I used to have it done in one sitting but because of insurance they changed it to once a week for 4-5 weeks. I hate it too because it’s often difficult to find my veins so I get poked a lot.

I was too tired to get up and do anything I thought it was the end for me, I have to take iron supplements along with eating foods rich in iron every other day or I start to become dizzy, my mom found out she has anemia, and so does my daughter.
I thought i had anxiety i feel everything he talking bout
Did you have facial tingling? I have this along with low ferritin and many toher symptoms and muscle aches
Same here! I went to the ER twice and all these doctors couldn't figure it out! I got a regular blood test, my doc was on vacation and I saw my Iron had plummetted. After a few weeks of Organ meats aI started to feel normal a bit again. Still recovering but feeling myself again. You gotta take care of yourself, most doctors always miss the details in the big picture...
@@riazali4362 organ meets? What kinds and would you mind telling me how you prepared them please
Start eating food with B vitamins and take everyday B vitamin product with high dosage of ALL B vitamins. They are water soluable vitamins (like vitamin C) with no risk of overdose, as the excess flushes away in urea.
EspeciallyB6 is required in red blood cell production. B12required/essential daily in high doses for brains, memory & neurological functions, especially schoolchildren, students, "brainworkers" and elderly benefit greatly from it.
Btw, Pure fish liver oil e.g. omega3 in it, is also excellent for brains, memory & concentration and can be ingested either as oil (even with lemon taste) or capsules.
Loved this video informative, straight to the point no rambling or repetitive dialogue 👏👏. Can you please do another video on other blood related diseases like Von Wilderband's, or diseases where factor F is deficient
Thank you
Very informative thankyou for sharing,I have just been diagnosed with iron deficient anemia.
How are you now ? Did you try iron pills?
I have iron deficiency from heavy menstruation and experiencing major hair loss, I had a scalp biopsy and was told I have alopecia, just wondering if that diagnosis could be from low iron?(ferritin is 30)
I had alopecia areata. Cortisone injections in the scalp defeated it.
Hope you get better.
I'm currently having the same issue.

@Angie Randazzo In 2018, I had heavy bleeding too for 2 months that’s why I need to undergo blood transfusion. After that, I started to have bald spots and in a span of 3 months after having those spots, I totally lose all my hair. From head, eyebrows and all over my body. I went to a dermatologist but the steroids that they gave me didn’t help. I wore my wig for almost a year. Thank God, my hair grew back without taking any medications or going back to the doctor.
30 is certainly a number that would add to a hairloss problem.
Excellent content and clear, simple delivery. Thanks.
I almost died from anemia and have to watch it all the time and have to take B shots so that it can direct the iron where to go.
I have the same problem. What B shots do you take?
@@TheIntrovert83 I will have to ask my hubby in the morning what we use and get back to you on that as he gives the shots...painful but necessary.
Me too but these pos doctors won't give me b12

Wow I have that little bump under my lip too! I developed it since I was 12. I'm 26 and it hasn't disappeared. I am also iron deficient.
I get it sometimes .. I'm also anemic. I have the sickle cell trait too

Informative and brilliantly explained
Doctors say I have iron deficiency if it’s left untreated I might have health problems luckily I’m taking iron supplements medicine and shots I hope I survive:)
How are you now?
How are you doing now
I am anemic and my son has g6pd enzyme deficiency which I found out I am a female heterozygote carrier and it skips generations and usually lands on first born son. It causes hemolysis if you have any trigger foods or substances like sulfa drugs or fava beans. We are Persian and eat fava beans seasonally. I didn’t know he had this enzyme deficiency which effects the red blood cells and when he had fava beans he almost died and needed 6 bags of blood and hemoglobin went extremely low and his lips turned blue and he was peeing the color of blood or “coca cola” because the bilirubin was also going crazy. It was a very scary event that led us to the hospital with him jaundiced and high fever and I knew something was very wrong and I was screaming bringing him to the ER saying that my child was dying so someone quickly could give him attention. The hematologist there instantly knew this was from fava beans and we just never would have known but fava beans really are deadly and hard to digest for even people without g6pd but others bodies and blood can recover the losses better so they don’t have reactions, but you can tell from your pee being darker sometimes. I personally won’t eat fava beans again after what they did to my son. We are anemic and we take iron supplements and try to eat more: dark turkey, apricots, dark chocolate, mushrooms, spinach, iron fortified cereals, red meat, liver, tuna, etc. I would not recommend fava bean consumption to anyone with iron deficiency or anemia in general unless you want to exacerbate the problem. There is a name for it and it’s called “Favism.” It is possible g6pd is in your genetics if you are showing up anemic and iron deficient. It’s something to look into if Mediterranean or Asian descent or African American.
Thank you sir fer this lesson U m 59 and I m anemic .
One can also have a low hemogloben level because they have thalassemia trait which is very common in the Mediterranean..
My hemogloben is always very low because of thalassemia trait.
Consanguinity is a major factor in thelassemia.
Very helpful, thank you!!
Great video , thank you for sharing ❤️
I am anemic and have episodes of mouth sore especially during my period. I have been taking iron pills but have to discontinue due to severe gastrointestinal irritation.
Same canker sores before period
Try the brand Feo-sol bifera iron tablets it is easy on your stomach. I get it at Walmart online and I order a few bottles at a time. I also eat Raisin Bran and raisin bread toast. And pumpkin seeds are good. I also use B-12vitamins that dissolve under the tongue and I take vitaminC because it helps with absorption.
Mega Food Blood Builder on Amazon is the BEST! I had problems for years with taking iron and anemia. Try this one, i tell everyone because it is so gentle and does not make me nauseous like other iron. It's wonderful. They also have minis which are i love and have helped me so much. Also you can eat cereals like Life, Raisin Bran and shredded wheat, etc, alot of them have good iron, but eat it as a snack and less with milk since calcium blocks iron right after you eat it.
Try Garden of Life- Blood Builder
Excellent explanation thanks I really appreciate
Question: if I just eat a normal diet, does it satisfy the levels of iron needed or is it something you need to specifically manage?
Mario you need to take a B vitamin with iron as well as eating properly.
What's a normal diet? What's normal for you may not be normal to someone else.
Very good info and easily explained. Thank you very much!!💕🙏🏽
I was 6 months old and had to have a transfusion because I was anemic, I've been anemic many times in my 57 years
If you a blood group ,,O then it is because your diet is not very rich in meat products. Try increasing meat especially in liver,heart,etc
At 6 months ur hb was?
@@Colouring10 hb? I just know that I was really sick.
@@edimoelvis9904 I don't eat liver or heart and I am unable to afford any decent meats.
I’ve always been like 90% sure that I’m anemic and this just proves that I literally have like almost all of those symptoms especially canker sores and pica. I always chew rubber and plastic also I had terrible attention span I take medicine for that. I’m always tired. I’m very weak and scrony. And I’m always constipated
Oh and I get dizzy randomly
What is the treatment?
Funny is i always eat iron rich food, yet im still anemic
@@nanetnanet9640 Might be your iron absorption. My Oncologist has me taking sublingual vitamin B-12 and chewable vitamin C daily. She said taking these vitamins specifically this way helps with iron absorption.
Thank you jj medicine 💊 for that amazing interesting stough on anemia. God bless you 😇
Can you make a hereditary hemochromatosis one as well please?
I feel like stopping working night shifts as I can’t get to eat enough food day time and even in the night so I get tired all the time and my iron level is always low .
Did your doctor prescribe iron supplements? I take 325 mg twice a day with vitamin C so it’ll absorb. Sometimes I do weekly B12 shots for 8 weeks. Those help my energy immensely. Also a D3 once a week prescription will
Incorporate liver and organ meat into your diet.
add vitamin d deficiency if u are not getting enough sunlight.

Hair loss also!! Low ferritin levels associated with hair loss!
Easy to understand 😍
Exallent lecture on anemia
Great lecture thanks sir
I had a myocardial infarction due to a low hemoglobin. I was only 50 years old. Had an angiogram that showed no blockage. Had a colonoscopy to look for bleeding, that wasn’t an issue. In the end my infarction was said to be due to low iron. It was 7.3, not to scary low, but my issue is my ferritin level is extremely low. I don’t understand why it is so low. Dr. Tested for the cause and said there wasn’t anything identifiable. Long story short I now have regular iron infusions. At least I know why I’m always exhausted and out of breath. Sometimes just talking makes me sound like I ran a marathon.
I hope your doing well now
I note this....
HOPE SOMEONE SEES THIS AND HELPS ME, I have iron deficiency (self diagnosed from the symptoms and I have been a heavy flow since I started my period so I know that's the cause). This year I finally decided to get on some OTC iron supplements and my period not only got EXTREMELY HEAVIER! IT ALSO LASTED 14 DAYS! I thought these were just the first month side effects and continued and it just continued that way, when I stop them, my period goes back to normal but when I start taking them again, the problem persists. I have also tried Multi vitamins that have iron in them ( different brand too) but got the same results, It is so frustrating as I am trying to get better but it seems they make me worse. Right now I cannot afford to get blood tests as it is expensive and I am unemployed. What do I do ? Please advise.🙏
Please see a doctor for testing. Sorry you are going through that. Get well. ❤️
Ask your doctor about Ovex (standard process)
I know how you feel cuz I too have extreme symptoms and we have much in common I too found it by my self ,and I know how frustrating it is when you can't go for a blood test as it is costly. I had tried many medications too .the best one I had used is "Maharshi ayurveda,raktda" yes it is an Indian product it was really effective and the other thing I suggest is as much as possible go for healthy intake like Panakam( jaggery water ), 2 dates per day, green leafy vegies and egg ,meat etc....
Maybe go off the iron pills one week before your period and see if that changes anything?
From a scientific standpoint it is unlikely that the heavy bleeding is caused directly by higher iron.
However iron does influence hormone production, they in turn influence the makeup of the uterus lining.
It could also be that taking the iron makes you deficient in a different factor necessary for blood coagulation, though i don't know what that factor might be.
Excellent explanation
Thank you so much sir
Thnanks alot sir

Wonder if this could be caused also by excessive alcohol drinking?
Alcohol inhibits the absorption of both b12 and iron, so yes.
Omg. I have bad angular cheilitis. My iron levels came back normal though.
I recently spotted a small circle on the top part of my gums and instantly diagnosed myself with Aids or Herpes. Didn't know what a canker sore was before setting a doctors appt. Of course its gone and my doctors appt is coming up. I'll be curious to see what the Doctor says.
I have the same thing. What is it
@@cherylehrhart1030 My mom told me to gargle with warm salt water and it worked. It worked so great, the sore was gone by time my doctors appt rolled around. Based off the symptoms I described to the doctor, he agreed to was most likely a canker sore; noting that stress could have been the cause. Hope that info helps but ultimately, its nothing to panic about.
Insert Name Here you do NOT have Aids or Herpes you are iron deficient!!!!!! U need iron infusions to cure the problem. I get my iron infusions weekly and all my problems well symptoms went away. Change your diet and eat beets and celery.

MFTHR is also reason for Anemia
Would enteric coated aspirin , which I think dissolves in the small intestine cause low hemoglobin count ?
Does anyone experience loss if appetite due to iron deficient anaemia. I am taking supplements but no appetite , gas , boating all the time. I feel terrible and helpless. Losing weight also. So scared .
You can do a stomach acid test at home with baking soda(Google it).Low stomach acid could be the reason for appetite loss and anemia.
Please see a Dr. and if he/she can’t help get referred to a Gastroenterologist.
If the bloating is in the upper part of the abdomen with pressure building up rather than just a lot of farts coming out, it is likely due to SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth). This can both cause iron deficiency or be caused by it.
It can be checked by a gastroenterologist via a simple breath test, however treatment is difficult because it just won't work if it is not approached holistically.
Is sleeping late or showering at night linked to anemic/iron defiency?
Do men get this condition also??
Can the tongue have purple spots ?
